Isolation of a novel acidiphilic methanogen from an acidic peat bog

Article Abstract:

The isolation and initial characterization of a novel acidophilic methanogen from an uncultured family-level clade in the Methanomicrobiales prevalent in many acidic peat bogs in the Northern Hemisphere are described. Characteristic study of the isolated methanogen demonstrates that the optimum pH for its methanogenesis is lower than that of any previously described methanogen.

Early blastomere determines embryo proliferation and caste fate in a polyembryonic wasp

Article Abstract:

The study reports that maternal pre-patterning in the form of germ plasm creates cellular asymmetry at the four-cell stage embryo of Copidosoma that are perpetuated throughout development. Further, it presented that the evolution of mammalian like regulative development of an insect embryo relies on a novel cellular context that ultimately enhance developmental plasticity.

The cellular machinery of Ferroplasma acidiphilum is iron-protein-dominated

Article Abstract:

An analysis aims to show that most of the cellular proteins of Ferroplasma acidiphilum are found to be iron-metalloproteins. The iron atoms in the proteins organized and stabilized their three-dimensional structures to act as iron rivets, thus considering Ferroplasma acidiphilum as a unique iron-protein-dominated cellular machinery and biochemical phylogeny.
